Father Casimir Wyszynski

107 The Servant of Mary Immaculate Adam, a sickly child. At that time the Venerable Casimir happened to visit the Suffczyńskis’. He became aware of the parents’ dismay over their sickly child, and without delay he turned to God in heartfelt prayer, asking the healing of that child. As he completed his prayers, everyone present noticed that the child fully recov- ered his health. Mrs. Suffczyńska, the mother of the healed child, personally related this story to me a few years ago.” 61 Also, Father Isidore Taudt (1715-1792), superior of the monastery in Raśna and later long-term chaplain to the family of Prince Czartoryski, testified twice to Father Casimir’s holiness of life: “I know that he possessed the theological virtues, which is in- dicated by the fact that he believed in a steadfast and unhesitating way everything that God said and that the Church declared as re- vealed. He availed himself of the Sacraments in the most pious manner and was dedicated to prayer, especially by particular de- votion to the Blessed Sacrament of the Eucharist, and spent long hours in adoration. He held theHoly See in great esteemand three times visited the Sacred Apostolic Threshold. Hewas always obe- dient to his superiors, scrupulously fulfilledGod’s commandments and gladly bore injustice, insults, and persecutions. 62 “ I have known him as practicing his faith, initially instilled by his Catholic parents, and later continuously deepened through his personal cooperation and intelligence. His faith, manifested throughhis outwarddeeds since childhood, demonstrated thema- turity and solemnity of an adult. He loved silence and solitude, and gave everyone an example ofmodesty and control over his senses. He availed himself regularly of the Sacraments and devoted him- self to pious and religious practices, including an uncommon de- votion to the Blessed Sacrament. From all of this, I conclude that he had a lively and heroic faith. Moreover, his observance of all the Church’s commandments as well as God’s, and the obligations proper to his state in life, was extraordinary. He showed great obe- dience to his superiors, both religious and secular, especially to the Holy See, which he held in great esteem. During his stay in Rome, 61 PositioWysz , 464-465. 62 Ibid, 431.
